Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>Completing The Square</em><em>:</em></h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

<em><u>x = 8 or x = -2</u></em>

State the converse, contrapositive, and inverse of each of these conditional statements a) If it snows tonight, then I will stay

marissa [1.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For the condition statement $p \rightarrow q$ or equivalent "If p then q"

The rule for Converse is: Interchange the two statements.
The rule for Inverse is: Negative both statements.
The rule for Contrapositive is: Negative both statements and interchange them.

Part (A) If it snows tonight, then I will stay at home.

Here p is If it snows tonight, and q is I will stay at home.

Converse: If I will stay at home then it snows tonight.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: If it doesn't snows tonight, then I will not stay at home.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I will not stay at home then it doesn't snows tonight.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (B) I go to the beach whenever it is a sunny summer day.

Here p is I go to the beach, and q is it is a sunny summer day.

Converse: It is a sunny summer day whenever I go to the beach.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: I don't go to the beach whenever it is not a sunny summer day.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: It is not a sunny summer day whenever I don't go to the beach.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (C) When I stay up late, it is necessary that I sleep until noon.

P is I sleep until noon and q is I stay up late.

Converse: If I sleep until noon, then it is necessary that i stay up late.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: When I don't stay up late, it is necessary that I don't sleep until noon.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I don't sleep until noon, then it is not necessary that i stay up late.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$
